Menurut ''The Historical Dictionary of American Slang'', kata tersebut mula-mula nampaktampak dalam cetakan pada 1965, meskipun istilah tersebut dikabarkan dipakai setidaknya sejak 1940an (mungkin timbul dari ejekan sebelumnya seperti "bean-eater" (penyantap kacang) dan "bean-bandit" (bandit kacang) yang telah dipakai sejak setidaknya 1910an.)<ref name="mouth"/>
